Re: Automatic number sequencing (2003)

<P ID="edit" class=small>(Edited by jscher2000 on 30-May-08 19:08. First attempt wasn't entirely clear.)</P>Forget about the preformatted AUTONUM and LISTNUM fields and try SEQ. Each SEQuence field needs a name so it can be distinguished from other ones. For example, these --

{ SEQ MySouvenirsCollection }
{ SEQ MyTequilaCollection }

-- can be used side by side in the same area of the document without interfering with one another:

This is number { SEQ MySouvenirsCollection } of a series of souvenirs ==> 1
This is number { SEQ MySouvenirsCollection } of a series of souvenirs ==> 2
This is number { SEQ MyTequilaCollection } of a series of tequilas ==> 1
This is number { SEQ MySouvenirsCollection } of a series of souvenirs ==> 3
This is number { SEQ MyTequilaCollection } of a series of tequilas ==> 2

If you copy and paste an SEQ field, it will not immediately renumber. Select it (or select all) and press F9 to update the numbering.
